A Californian homeless man has been arrested after he broke into a shuttered bar, reopened the business and started selling drinks to unwitting customers.
The Placer County, California, Sheriff’s department arrested 29-year-old Travis Kevie after his 4-day stint as the barkeep of the historic Valencia Club in Penryn which had been shutdown for more than a year.
Detective Jim Hudson became suspicious after reading about the Valencia Club’s re-opening in an Auburn Journal newspaper article that featured a picture of Kevie and identified him as the club’s new “owner/operator”. Not only had Detective Hudson had previous run-ins with Kevie, he knew the Valencia Club’s liquor license had been surrendered.
It seems like the homeless man was able to do more than many people who attempt to run a bar do – kept it open for almost a week!
